New York governor's polling sagged as she dealt with an arrested lieutenant governor, a bruising budget battle and a weak campaign rollout
It could be a turning point, said Jon Reinish, a Democratic strategist for Mercury Public Affairs.
But Hochul’s campaign will have to capitalize on these opportunities quickly, and some state Democrats say they’re not sure that will happen. “Everyone’s getting their sea legs, still, but it’s very late in the game,” said one Democratic legislative official, speaking anonymously to discuss the private sentiment in the conference. “I don’t think she’s in danger, but unless she steps up, it’s definitely a concern.”
“She’s done some good things, but we don’t know her,” he said. “We haven’t seen her. My district is more moderate, law and order, working class. Some of the policies we’ve seen under Hochul have been more to the left than we’re comfortable with.” Hochul faces a primary against Suozzi and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. And there’s always the looming threat of Cuomo and his potential comeback.
